In a significant development, several vital health initiatives that faced sudden U.S. funding cuts last week have received notification reversing these terminations, according to information from multiple sources close to the projects.
While aid recipients welcomed these reversals, operations remain suspended as U.S. funding hasn’t resumed, leaving their work in uncertainty. The initial cancellations, affecting approximately 90% of USAID and State Department-funded contracts, sent ripples through international aid organizations last Thursday.
So the Supreme Court Justices heard all the USAID fraud listed and still ruled the next day to force the President of the United States to disburse another $2 BILLION. How is this happening?

RBM Partnership to End Malaria’s CEO, Michael Adekunle Charles, confirmed receiving their reversal notice Wednesday evening, stating: “I think it’s good news. We need to wait in the coming days to get additional guidance. Our priority is saving lives, so the earlier we can get started to continue saving lives the better.”
Charles emphasized that resuming operations would prove challenging without active funding. Some U.S. aid contractors plan to take legal action, seeking restoration of payments through federal court proceedings Thursday.

Sources revealed that other U.S.-supported programs, including the Stop TB Partnership, also received reversal notices this week. The State Department hasn’t provided immediate response to these developments.
The situation stems from Trump’s recent 90-day foreign aid suspension implemented upon his return to office. This directive, coupled with subsequent USAID operational halts, has disrupted critical food and medical assistance worldwide. The administration’s actions included furloughing most USAID personnel and eliminating 1,600 positions.
Recent selective waivers for certain programs have only added uncertainty to an already complex situation.
